Compassion

I was watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer tonight (big fan!) and a line of dialogue was "Compassion is not given to people because they deserve it, but because they need it." I personally think that the act of compassion is mainly on the side of the one, who forgives. 

We need to forgive to make things right for ourselves, not for the one, who did something to be forgiven. That's why it is important to forgive. Even the dead. The ones who left. The ones who left us. In any sense. We need to forgive to move on.
